Listen Later

Once upon a time, in the realm of podcasts, there emerged a show that sought to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. This show was "Mick Unplugged," hosted by the charismatic Mick Hunt. In its inaugural episode, Mick embarked on a journey to explore a concept that transcended the well-known 'Why' and delved into the powerful realm of 'Because.'

Mick began by challenging his listeners to move beyond the philosophy of 'Start with Why,' introduced by Simon Sinek. He proposed a deeper exploration into the essence of 'Because,' which he described as the driving force that turns dreams into reality. This concept was not just about understanding one's motivations but about activating them into tangible actions.

Throughout the episode, Mick engaged his audience – the dreamers, the leaders, and those yearning to leave their mark on the world. He discussed how 'Because' is more than a motivator; it's the relentless energy that propels one towards their goals. He emphasized that while 'Why' can point to the peak of the mountain, 'Because' is the force that drives one to climb it.

Mick shared personal stories and real-life examples to illustrate the power of 'Because.' He spoke of Sarah, a young entrepreneur whose 'Because' transformed her from a dreamer into a doer, leading her to create a multimillion-dollar business. He talked about Alex, a sales professional whose 'Because' was to build a future for his kids, driving him to become the top salesperson in his company. Mick also opened up about his journey, revealing how a promise made to his mother at a young age became his 'Because,' shaping his life and career.


As the episode neared its end, Mick offered practical steps for his listeners to embrace their 'Because':

  • Reflect on past victories and struggles to identify your 'Because.'
  • Make 'Because' a visible and daily habit.
  • Seek opportunities that resonate with your 'Because' for a fulfilling life.
  • Share your 'Because' for accountability and inspiration.
  • Mick concluded the episode with empowering words, urging his audience to embrace and unleash their 'Because.' He reminded them that their 'Because' is not just a part of their story but their legacy, a superpower waiting to be unleashed.

    Key Points:

    • 'Because' transcends 'Why' by turning motivation into action.
    • Personal stories and examples highlight the transformative power of 'Because.'
    • Practical steps include reflection, visibility, opportunity seeking, and sharing.
    • Embracing 'Because' leads to a purpose-driven life and legacy.
